Our calling is to help companies create amazing, intuitive web &amp; mobile applications, APIs, products, and services.<p>Pair programming, continuous integration &amp; delivery, kaizen, and TDD&#x2F;BDD aren&#x27;t just ideas we pay lip service to, but core practices of our day-to-day work.<p>We love polyglots. We use lots of Ruby, Python, Elixir, and JavaScript (mostly React and React-Native).<p>As PromptWorks grows, so does demand on our engineering team.

In those cases, we like to work with seasoned, versatile contractors that are excited to dive in. We are seeking experienced freelance engineers to mutually expand our business.<p>Skills we are currently looking for:<p><pre><code>    - Ruby &amp; Rails
    - Elixir &amp; Phoenix
    - Azure, especially with Kubernetes &amp; Terraform
    - Python
    - React, Angular
    - React Native

Together we build software that allows their scientists to organize, analyze, and visualize their data.<p>We&#x27;re at the point now where we need additional help from a software standpoint, and so we&#x27;re looking to bring someone on to the team.<p>Our stack is Python&#x2F;JavaScript, and experience with the following technologies would be ideal:<p>* Django<p>* Vue.js<p>* Postgres&#x2F;MySQL<p>* AWS<p>Any experience with the following would be a plus but not necessary:<p>* Pandas<p>* R<p>* Data Visualization tools (D3, charts.js, etc)<p>Ideally we&#x27;d love to find someone that would eventually want to work for us on a full-time basis (we have way more work than we can handle), but to get started we&#x27;d prefer a short term contract or part-time W2 employment (specifics TBD based on several factors).<p>This is a remote gig but does require that you be legally allowed to work in the US, and we&#x27;d prefer if you were in a time zone close to pacific.<p>If interested, send a resume and a quick intro about yourself to jordan@guideinformatics.com.

text: Remote<p>Technologies: TypeScript, React (no hooks), Redux, Node, FP<p>Need help paying down some technical debt in a medium-sized Node&#x2F;React&#x2F;Redux codebase. The code is actually reasonably clean, but there are some medium- and large-scale refactorings that would really help our development speed. There are some pieces still in Javascript which would be good to convert to TypeScript before doing the refactoring, and I imagine we&#x27;ll need some additional test coverage as well.<p>Our philosophy is not &quot;move fast and break things&quot; but rather &quot;refactor until it&#x27;s right for what you need&quot;. The code is mostly in a functional style with fairly tight typings and uses monads in some places. Familiarity with functional programming is therefore a must<p>Email: hn-dev   inc-query.com

We are a small passionate team based in UK, Germany, Switzerland and India that is consulting multinational corporations on their human rights commitments. 
What world do you want to live in 2050? 
What role are corporations playing? 
What impacts are their value chains having? 
How can you measure and visualize topics like water stress, land use, or rights of workers in a way that helps companies prioritize and change?<p>You can help us accompany our clients in adressing these questions by building capacity, data visualization tools and help our clients apply human rights diligence across their value chains.<p>The tools we build support these processes which means that the technology stack often depends on the client.
Generally, we use a mix of<p>- Power BI, (Tableau),<p>- Excel&#x2F;VBA,<p>- but also have one or two (Java&#x2F;Spring-boot, Docker, Gitlab CI) inhouse tools that we put to work.<p>Ideally, we are looking for a generalist with a passion for data processing, e.g. full-stack web programming might also prove useful in the near future. We are always thinking about finding innovative ways to support our work with technology.<p>We use a variety of public and corporate data sets and apply a good amount of sense to get to the heart of issue.<p>Freelancing for us will certainly not satisfy your needs for working with the latest technology stack. But if you want to turn your computer off in the evening and feel like you put your skills to good use adressing some of the bigger issues of our times I am looking forward to hearing from you.
